For those single people looking for love, the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown a spanner in the works for the usual dating dynamic.
Even for a generation used to finding dates through apps and online dating platforms, the ability to then take the next step, and get to know our potential partners has been taken away. It can make those first few dates potentially very awkward. The usual way of building and showing connection and attraction are no longer possible. There are still many options for meeting people online including video dating, dating lines for lesbian and gay community and a range of free dating sites aimed at those who are single during these strange times.
For some people, social distancing can actually benefit them on those first few dates. If you’re a particularly shy person, or are worried about any expectations of physical intimacy during a date, then having to remain socially distant can relieve the weight of expectation, allowing you to be yourself and connect on a social and intellectual level.
Over the first stages of courtship have been taking place over video chat or virtual dates but when it’s time to finally meet, how can you plan your date while still respecting social distancing rules?
It’s time to get creative in planning your dates.
Try a sport
If you and your date are the sporty type, then there are a few creative options for an ‘active’ date. Tennis, ping pong, outdoor bowling or badminton are all great options and can all be played outdoors. Not only will you be able to observe social distancing and see how competitive your date is.
City Walking Tour
If you both live in or near a big city, then a walking tour can be an ideal way to get to know each other while discovering more about the place that you live. You’d be amazed how much you’ve never noticed before and the tour element will mean that you always have something to talk about.
City centres are much less busy at the moment so keeping your distance is much easier.
While walking is a great idea for a date, keep to busier or populated areas for safety reasons when meeting someone new.
A Picnic
Food and dates have always gone together perfectly. A romantic outdoor picnic in a park can give you that same emotional connection while still maintaining a safe distance. It will give you a chance to show off any culinary skills.
Who knows how long the dating landscape is likely to be affected by COVID-19 legislation. Many people experienced loneliness and disconnection throughout lockdown, so maintaining social connections is a great way to combat those effects.
Always follow your state and national guidelines for the latest health advice on COVID-19 and ensure that you’re following those guidelines.
If your date turns into something more, then you’ll always have an interesting story to tell about how you fell in love.

With all this recession and Covid talk going around there are some huge numbers being used and it desensitizes you to how much money that really is. This many millions of dollars being lost. That many billions being spent. Well, I found this infographic to be a fun way to put it all back into perspective. One million dollars isn’t really a huge amount of money for the government, and it can even fit in a briefcase like in the movies. If you put it in real items though it really adds up. This guy uses burritos!

Over the past few months, many of us have spent much more time in our homes. The coronavirus pandemic has seen us following lockdown measures to slow the spread of the virus, staying indoors and minimising contact with others. This has given us an opportunity to realise just how important these spaces are to us. Chances are, you want to make sure your home is as safe as possible while spending increasing amounts of time in it. To achieve this, there are various home maintenance checks that you need to carry out. These will help you to ensure that your property is as safe as can be at any given time. Here are a few that you should take into consideration!
Remove Anything Potentially Harmful
There are aspects of your home that may have been fine by building regulations when the property was built, but may be banned now. Asbestos is a prime example of this. At one point, it was a common building material. But nowadays, we are aware that it can potentially cause cancer. If your home has asbestos in it, it’s essential that you don’t try to remove it yourself. Instead, use professional Asbestos Removal services.
Check Smoke Alarms
This next check is simple but can quite literally save your life. Checking your smoke alarms on a regular basis will ensure that they’re always in working condition and that the batteries are working. This can prevent fires, as you will be alerted as soon as any smoke is detected and you can tackle the issue right away. Checking your alarms regularly really is essential, so add it into your routine.
Repair Any Faults Immediately
Everyone’s home will face some sort of fault at some point or another. Things wear down and need repairing or replacing and it’s important that you actually face up to these issues, rather than attempting to just sweep them under the carpet. Issues don’t tend to rectify themselves. Instead, they worsen, becoming more costly to fix and eventually causing major damage to your property that will be much more difficult and expensive to rectify in the long run. A good example is a leaking tap. Many of us will ignore this and become used to the dripping noise for months or even years. At some point, however, the leak could become much more severe and cause flooding or water damage. Then, rather than paying for a small repair of a leaky tap, you’ll have to call out an emergency plumber to stem the flow and then further services to repair the water damage to your home too!
These, of course, are just a few different areas you might want to focus on when it comes to home repair. Hopefully, our advice can come in pretty useful to you at some point or another. Remember, prevention is better than cure! Tackling something when it first establishes itself is much easier and much more cost effective than tackling a major issue that results from it!
